It only makes sense if the leaf element *must* match, and we clearly agree, but the explicit statement is terse but somewhat vague. > (We should probably have defined "match" in the terminology section, > but we seem to have the same understanding of the term so I don't > believe that's the source of confusion.) I think match (and other terms) should be specified close to their point of usage. Also, it would be helpful to have examples which included rules which don't match, examples of multiple style sheets being merged, etc. On the other hand, the spec isn't a tutorial, so I'm comfortable with very little of that sort of material.
